PRWEB -- July 13 -- EbonySingles.com is a newly formed venture from the creators of BlackSingles. Launched with more than 350,000 registered members. A decision was made to rename the site EbonySingles.com to appeal to ALL people of color. Not just Black Americans as the name suggested. EbonySingles.com will continue to host events from coast to coast and has future plans to include international travel expeditions in addition to their annual cruise events.
Mark Brooks: Black, gay, and religion focused singles sites are the strongest niches. Patrick Perrine is working on a gay version of eHarmony which should fill a lucrative void in the market.
Wasn't the BlackSingles.com domain bought by Spark Networks and then used to replace BlackSinglesConnection.com, which they had bought as part of their acquisition of MingleMatch in 2005?
This would mean that the previous owners of the domain BlackSingles.com have now re-launched under this new name of EbonySingles.com, as they sold the BlackSingles.com domain...
Anyone have any knowledge as to the accuracy of the above?

Nice idea, but I heard that They have changed the name long time ago? Am I right?
Anyway, it's a nice way to widen a targeted auditory. Hope they will be a sucess. Besides, the are popular already and can afford changing logos and names- users will still remember the site ;)

We need something like this in South Africa as most online dating website here are owned by white people, and members are mostly white. My research in 2005 concluded that over 70% of people in South Africa using online dating is white, so we have a long way to go.

Ramon, please advise further on this. If there's a gap in the market, you're on the right site to draw attention to it. The entrepreneurs and CEO's here are looking for new markets. What more can you tell us?
